American Continental Academy

American Continental Academy offers two diploma programs for the prospective student. The
first is a 16 credit program, completed entirely online. This is available to students 18
years and older. The second is a 24 credit home school program. This is a paper and pencil
program taken through the mail. This is available to students 16 years and older.
Online diploma program: With this program, designed for adult students, all coursework,
assignments and exams are done online. This allows the student to achieve a high school
diploma in the fastest most effective way possible. An accredited high school diploma at
affordable rates can be earned in less then a week (depending on their initial knowledge and
motivation) through our advanced online system that allows you to take all your courses
online at your own pace.
Past students who have used this program are adults looking to go on to college, and those
looking for jobs that require a high school diploma, in which case time is of the essence.
The program is available nationwide and you can enroll in a SACS, CASI, and CITA accredited
program in just a few minutes and for an initial payment of $40.
Home school diploma program. This program is designed for students ages 16 and up or
international students looking to achieve an accredited high school diploma which may aid
them in getting admitted to U.S. college or university. When you enroll in the home school
program you will either take a brief test or submit a transcript. This will allow us to
determine which courses you demonstrate competence in. This means you will get credit for
these courses and move on directly to the ones you need to work on, thereby speeding up your
diploma process. Once this is completed you will then be able to begin your high school
courses and start the journey to obtaining an American high school diploma. The home school
program can be completed in as little as 3 months.
Past students who have used this program are students who's parents have decided the local
public school is not the safest environment for their child to get their high school diploma
in and would prefer their child get a quality education at home through an accredited home
school program. In addition we have had past students who have enrolled in the home school
program as an alternative to going through a GED program which is usually not given the same
significance as an actual high school diploma. Finally, the largest growing part of our
student body is our international students. Students from Cairo, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon,
Columbia, Argentina, Chile, the Virgin Islands, Bahamas, South Africa and many more are
inquiring daily.
